Red cell deformability in diabetics is much lower than that in normal controls. In patients with diabetic retinopathy, the decrease of red cell deformability is much more prominent than in patients without. Urinary albumin excretion rate in diabetic patients is inversely correlated with red cell deformability .The data above suggest that there is a close relationship between decreased red cell deformability and microangtopathy in diabetic patients

Objective To study the clinical effects of breast-preserving surgery in early-stage breast cancer. Methods From March 2002 to March 2007, 27 cases of early-stage breast cancer were treated with breast-preser-ving surgery. The control group had 28 cases, treated with radical mastectomy. Survival rate and recurrence rate were observed. Results The short-term progress of breast-preserving surgery in early-stage breast cancer had no significant difference with that of radical mastectomy. Plastic effects of breast were satisfied. Conclusion Breast- preserving surgery in early-stage breast cancer had favorable effects both in progress and in plastic. Therefore, it is warranted for wide use.

Objective To study the relationship between the co‐expression levels of inducible costimulatory molecule (ICOS)and CD28 on peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and Behcet’s disease(BD).Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression levels of ICOS and CD28 on peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of BD patients(n=22) ,including those with active BD(ABD ,n= 14)and stable BD(SBD ,n= 8) ,and of normal subjects(n= 22).Results The proportion of CD28+ ICOS+ CD4+ T cells was significantly increased in ABD patients when compared with normal subjects [(34.72 ± 12.87)% vs.(25.36 ± 8.24)% ,P<0.05].No significant difference was found in the proportion of CD28+ ICOS+ CD8+ T cells [(9.32 ± 4.57)% vs.(7.24 ± 3.36)% ,P>0.05]between the two groups.The proportions of CD28-ICOS+ CD4+ T cells and CD28-ICOS+CD8+ T cells were both obviously increased in ABD patients when compared with those in normal subjects[(2.54 ± 1.63)% vs.(0.76 ± 0.25)% for CD28- ICOS+ CD4+ T cells ,P< 0.05;(8.79 ± 3.41)% vs.(3.04 ± 1.25)% for CD28-ICOS+CD8+ T cells ,P<0.05].Conclusion The increased expression level of ICOS on peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells is not closely associated with the expression of CD28 to some extent in BD patients ,suggesting that cells expressing only ICOS play an important role in the development of BD.

Objective To detect the expression of macrophage inlfammatory protein 1α(MIP-1α) in the myocardium of viral myocarditis (VMC) mice at different phases. Methods A total of 120 4-week-old male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 2 groups, 80 in the VMC group and 40 in the control group. Mice in VMC group were inoculated intraperitoneally with coxsackievirus B3 to build VMC models, while mice in control group were treated with DMEM cultivate liquid. Ten mice of each group were sacriifced on days 3, 7, 15 and 30 after treatment and their heart tissues were collected for analysis. The level of MIP-1αin the myocardium was determined by immunohistochemistry. Myocardial histopathology was examined with hematoxylin and eosin stain. In addition, the relationship between the level of MIP-1αand the degree of myocardial lesion was investigated. Results The expression of myocardial MIP-1αprotein in VMC group was up-regulated in myocardium on day 3 after inoculation of virus, and slowly decreased after the peak on day 7, but still sustained a high level on day 30. Compared with the control group, the levels of MIP-1αin VMC group were increased signiifcantly at every phase (P<0.05). Furthermore, positive correlation was found between MIP-1αprotein expression levels and myocardial histopathologic scores in VMC group (r=0.94, P<0.01). Conclusion The up-regulated expression of MIP-1αmay play a critical role in the pathogenic mechanisms of viral myocarditis.

This paper discussed the importance and urgency of enhancing medical students' law education through analyzing the status of student' s knowledge on the medical law,changes in the environment of physician practicing and damages and disputes between the doctors and patients made by the student' s lawbreaking.Meanwhile,suggestions were proposed including establishing a law teaching group consisted of professional and pluralistic teachers,disseminating the law concept,adopting appropriate methods in appropriate periods.

Objective To investigate the association between renin-like activity (RA) and angiotensin Ⅱ (AⅡ) and the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Methods Blood samples were taken from 42 patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). According to the ovarian stimulating response, the patients were divided into 4 groups: group Ⅰ, low responders, 7 cases; group Ⅱ, moderate responders, 8 cases; group Ⅲa high responders without using albumin, 7 cases, group Ⅲb, high responders with albumin, 10 cases; group Ⅳ, severe and moderate OHSS, 10 cases. 5 patients for intrauterin insemination with natural cycle as control. Follicular fluid (FF) was collected at oocyte retrieval from 28 IVF patients (including 7 OHSS patients). Fluid from ascites and hydrothorax was obtained from 3 OHSS patients, and peritoneal fluid obtained from 5 infertility patients by laparoscopy and ascitic fluid obtained from 6 ovarian carcinoma patients served as control. RA and AⅡ levels were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results plasma RA and AⅡ levels at mid-luteal phase from OHSS patients [(19.9?19.0)?g?L -1 ?h -1 and (397.0?378.2) ng/L] were significantly higher than those from the other patients ( P

Objective To investigate the clinical value of peri-interventional procedure serum bile acid(TBA)detection in patients with primary liver cancer. Methods The serum TBA was examined peri-operatively in 160 patients with primary liver cancer for testing the correlations between TBA, liver function, the degree of hepatocirrhosis, interventional therapy method and hepatic failure. Results The preoperative mean value of serum TBA incseased significantly in comparing with that of the control group (P

Objective To explore the relation between serum Hcy,Cys C levels and type2 diabetic macro-vascular complications and its clinical significance.Methods The serum levels of Hcy and Cys C were measured with immunoturbidimetry in 80 cases of type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications and 80 cases of type 2 diabetes without macrovascular complications,and in 80 healthy subjects which was seleted as control.Results Serum levels of Hcy and Cys C of type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications were (26.42 ± 5.75)μmol/L and (2.30 ±0.40)μmol/L,which were higher than those of patients without macrovascular complica-tions for (15.31 ±3.13)μmol/L and (1.51 ±0.27)μmol/L(t =15.17,14.64,all P <0.05);Moreover,which were also higher than those in the healthy control group for (8.86 ±1.62)μmol/L and (0.85 ±0.14)μmol/L(t =26.29, 30.56,all P <0.05).The serum levels of Hcy and Cys C of type 2 diabetic patients with carotid arteries increased were (32.53 ±6.46)μmol/L and (2.83 ±0.52)μmol/L,which were higher than those of patients without carotid arteries for (18.46 ±3.63)μmol/L and (1.65 ±0.30)μmol/L(t =11.64,12.06,all P <0.05).In patients of type 2 diabetic with macrovascular complications,Hcy was positively correlated with serum Cys C(r =0.617,P <0.05). Conclusion sCD40L and YKL -40 may have important role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetic patients with ma-crovascular complications,which can be used as a valuable reference target in the diagnosis and monitoring of vascular complications in elderly type 2 diabetes,and it may be one of the important independent risk factors of patients with type 2 diabetes.
